Orion 2500D No difference @.5ohm?

[ThomasG 5,000+ posts]

Well I was talking to a guy from a pretty important guy from crossfire(they make orion 2500D's) And he told me that if your run that amp at .5ohm it will make no difference as to 1ohm.

Anyone have personal experience with running them at both 1 ohm and .5ohm

if so what was the results?

thanks

Crossfire makes Orion amps?

no difference?

look at my post in this section for results as to what the 2500d's can do.

i believe cross fire is part of dei yes.

its very well possible that the amp won't make any more power at .5 than 1

if you have the battery power, it will be a bit more powerful.

i thought crossfire owned memphis? who knows anymore

That is way off. There are plenty of people running the Orion @ .5, but you have to have a serious electrical set up to support it.

2500d really comes alive @.5 sounds like a slogan too

At that impedance I'm sure it varies from amp to amp, the Orion 2500D very well could just be a portable space heater at .5 Ω, and provide not much more power.

yea.. they arent owned by dei, though crossfire is good stuff.. (i think crossfire is independant, im not 100% sure, though)

is it ok to run the amp at .5 ohm for daily tho. i plan on getting two used FI bl's but they both dual 2ohm
